Memoir, detective work and political history come together in this family biography which springs from a collection of stories passed down by word of mouth. Told on a toboggan in the Austrian mountains, in the back seat of an overloaded mini, on a coal barge in Paris, folding linen in London ... they range from Hungary to Austria, Italy, France, England and South America. These were the tales that shaped our lives and understanding as we grew up, and brought us the adventures of the women who went before us - and the link to a scattered family and 200 years of European turmoil. Rich with the experience of several generations of women, this is the history that so rarely reaches the official record. This is where our story, their stories and history meet.

Familiar farm animals make this sweet board book a sure delight for babies. COUNTING FARM takes very young readers on a tour of a friendly farm, counting one bright-feathered rooster, two speckled hens, three little chicks, and more. Kathy Henderson's warm watercolors and rhythmic rhymes will enchant babies.

"This treasure of a book highlights the bonds between the generations and between gardeners and the earth." -- SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL
